The DISA Global Force Management Program Management Office provides information technology capabilities to support the Department of War’s (DOW’s) Joint Planning Process (JPP). These capabilities enable force planning, deployment planning, allocation of forces, and execution of Global Force Management (GFM) processes for military operations as part of the Joint Command & Control (JC2) mission. Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES) is the two-phased modernization of critical JC2 GFM mission-enabling capabilities; Phase I is the replacement of the Joint Operations Planning and Execution System (JOPES) with the new JPES system, and Phase II is the continued enhancement of JPES to meet Service-specific requirements and eventual Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM) replacement. There are no DoW alternatives to JCRM and JOPES/JPES. Phase I: The replacement of JOPES with JPES is currently underway. Previous delays in the development of JPES have been resolved and the program is meeting its Milestone Decision Authority approved cost, schedule, and performance thresholds. A deployment of the JPES application was executed via the cloud (Azure Impact Level 6) in Q3 FY 2025, and JPES is on schedule to declare Initial Operational Capability by Q2 FY 2026 and Full Operational Capability (FOC) by Q3 FY 2026. Once FOC is declared, JPES will provide a modern application and architecture for all Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Services, and Defense Agencies and Field Activities (DAFAs) to monitor, plan, and execute the mobilization, deployment, employment, and sustainment activities associated with operations and exercises. Additionally, JPES will be interoperable with 25 external systems to perform force planning, deployment, and execution activities. Phase II: Even though JPES is reaching FOC, JPES still requires further customization to meet the unique needs of the Services and CCMDs. Enhancements to JPES will add functionality and integrate GFM processes into the overarching operation planning and execution domain.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

The DISA Global Force Management Program Management Office provides information technology capabilities to support the Department of War’s (DOW’s) Joint Planning Process (JPP). These capabilities enable force planning, deployment planning, allocation of forces, and execution of Global Force Management (GFM) processes for military operations as part of the Joint Command & Control (JC2) mission.

Use of performance-based contract awards is maximized while use of Time and Material contracts is minimized to those providing programmatic support versus software development, integration, or testing. All development, integration, and migration efforts within the portfolio are primarily supported through Cost Reimbursable Task Orders issued under competitively awarded contracts and Firm-Fixed Priced contracts for systems in sustainment that have clearly defined and stable requirements. Additionally, prototype Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) will be used to rapidly source solutions for new designs. Acquisition Strategies are structured to retain contractors capable of satisfying cost, schedule, and performance objectives.
